At the beginning of human history, people could only eat food they found. But then people learned to find more ways to get food. About 10, 000 years ago, people started to farm the land. After that, people developed farming skills.
People eat different food in different areas. In China, rice is the main food for people in the south while the people in the north eat noodles. People who live in European countries near the sea eat lots of fish. But in Central Europe, people are away from the sea. So they don’t eat so much fish. They eat more meat instead.
People eat food with different tools in different areas. In China, people always like using chopsticks while in North America, Australia and Europe, people always like using knives and forks. To our surprise, in India and the Middle East, people always pick up food with their own fingers.
Now people can eat different food from different areas. As we can see, it is possible to convey food easily from one part of the world to another. We can almost eat whatever we like at any place of the world. For example, people in Britain can eat bananas from Africa and rice from India. Food is becoming a very big business now.

Living the light life.
Many of us like to eat out and treat ourselves to delicious food. We are used to choosing fat-filled dishes and high-sugar desserts.
The recent rise of light meals, however, gives customers a smarter choice. According to Economic Daily, low-calorie (热量) low-fat and high-fiber (纤维) meals have become popular in China's turns and online delivery platforms like Meituan and Eleme.
The country saw a rapid expansion (拓展) of restaurants which sell light meals as their specials, from just 600 in 2017 to more than 3, 500 in 2018.
Having a light meal, however, doesn't mean eating only vegetables.
So the next time you have a party with friends, try a light meal. It will satisfy not only your stomachs but also your hearts.
A.Different from the meat-free lifestyle, a typical light dish just avoids oily, salty and spicy food. |

C.People aren't allowed to make their own decisions on food. |
D.A light meal is useful for keeping healthy and controlling your weight. |

Taiwan is famous for its food. To many of us, it is like heaven for foodies (吃货). Whether you go to restaurants or night markets, there will always be delicious food. The following are four classic Taiwan dishes.
Oyster omelet(蚵仔煎;牡蛎煎) It seems like it would be easy to make an omelet. But the special ingredients (成分) are what make the oyster omelet unique (独特的). They include oysters, bean sprouts (豆芽) and sweet potato starch (薯粉). What makes a good oyster omelet? People from Taiwan have their own secret — The bigger the oysters, the better. |
Coffin (棺材) bread The name may sound scary but the food is just the opposite. People cut the toast (吐司面包) into the shape of a box and make a lid (盖) with the rest. The lid makes it look like a coffin. In the “coffin”, there is a seafood soup with pork, mushrooms, peas and carrots. Just break off bits of the bread walls as you eat your way through the soup. |
Drunken Chicken Drunken Chicken dishes in Taiwan are usually cooked with Shaoxing wine. Some restaurants even serve these dishes with lots of herbs and vegetables. If you like eating meat but don’t want to put on weight, you could try this instead of fried and oily street food. |
Beef noodles This simple dish means a lot to the city of Taipei. They even have a festival for it every year. Put hand-pulled noodles in a spicy (辣的) soup, top it with beef, vegetables, and pickled greens (腌菜), and a bowl of tasty beef noodles is finished. Most places don’t make the soup too spicy because Taiwanese are not traditionally used to be heat. |
